Return To Your First Love
I taught at church a few Wednesday nights ago. As I was praying about it beforehand, I was feeling what I was on my heart was not really for the Wednesday night attendees. I said to The Lord, “Father, this is the Wednesday night crowd. They know most all this.”
He spoke to my heart and said, “Yes. It is the ‘Wednesday night crowd’. But some of them are there because they are hungry for what they had at one time in the past and they are hoping for, yearning for something to happen that will allow them to taste it again.”
The He said, “Tell them to taste and see that I Am Good.”
Are you hungry for something you used to have?
Was God real and present to you at one time?
We all go through times of quiet. Times of wilderness, when The Lord is preparing us, growing us, or doing something in our lives to cause to seek Him patiently.
There are also those times when we have stepped away.
Maybe you don’t pray as much as you once did.
Maybe you don’t seek Him in worship and through the Scriptures as you once did.
Maybe you’ve gotten so busy, you don’t make the time to get in the quiet with Him.
And now it’s been so long that it’s uncomfortable. You can’t seem to get in the spirit.
There is no magic formula. It does take time. It takes time invested in your relationship with Him. You must want to be there. You must want it badly enough that you make the time, however long it takes, to hear from Him again.
He is there. You must draw close.
Is He worth it to you?
Your actions give that answer.
As our days draw to a close, the time we NEED to spend with Him becomes more important than ever.
Seek the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near:…
Isaiah 55:6
Lord bless. Bro. Kyle.
